Couple teasers...the car is dirty so I'll take better shots later. I dropped the car about 1.5-2 weeks ago, so I'm hoping the springs will settle a bit more in the rear. Otherwise I'm gonna have to cut the springmount a tad bit because it's too high for my taste. In case you missed the specs above, they are as follows:
F: 19x9.5 (+17) - 265/30/19 Yoko Advan Sports
R: 19x10.5 (+18) - 295/30/19 Yoko Advan Sport / Michelin Pilot Sport PS2

I love your car man

argg your pics make me wish I went wider in the rear of my car. Can't wait for the real pics. Volk GT-S have always been one of my favorite wheels, and gold/polished lip looks good. I'm diggin that diffuser too, nice

lol...just hang in there and you'll get your new whip. If you have the cash to afford the other rides, then by all means wait. Thanks!Yes they areeee
. I'm not sure because I haven't pushed it yet or anything, but considering they're not much heavier than my stock wheels (except the tires are), and the dimensions are almost the same (except width), it shouldn't affect acceleration much / if any.`John

BTW I ordered some black Rays short lugs so I can ditch the chrome ones.
Thanks Ravin. I was skeptical at first too, because gold can either look amazing or pretty damn ugly. But I had my buddy drive my car and I drove his after getting them installed, and they look AWESOME when rolling, and even better at a stand still. I love 'em

Yo dem1k, IIRC you have an auto right? Does the transmission shift with decent speed when in manual mode, or is there noticeable lag? Anything you con compare it to? I know the one in the 2G TL there was noticable lag when using sport shift so just curious =D.

Yeah...I've got auto 
haha. As for the tranny, it's ok. It was a bit quicker when I first got it but it's not as bad as my CL-S was. Definitely tolerable though, as I use it about 80% of the time.

I'ma show my buddy your pics.... he's got a 350Z and wants wider wheels/tires. 295 on the rear on your car is perfect!

ain't that a bitch? Mexican MILFs ftw.Yeah the 295s fit awesome, but it all depends on the offset. I know some guys are rollin' 305 and 315s, but I believe their offset is a tad higher. BTW the guy I bought the wheels from had them on his 350z roadster, so you can tell your buddy they they'll fit great on his ride.

Went to my first meet last night , lots of fun. Anyways one of the guys took some pics so here are a couple of mine.
This isn't my car but it's the same wheels and I like the shot. It's another guy's ride on g35driver. I hope he doesn't mind me posting his car

Indeed they do 
, thanks. I just put on my black Rays lugs and they look great. I'm still bummed about the drop though. It definitely needs to be lower and I don't know what to do. Oh well, I'll figure it out.
Another shot from someone else. Not sure why my headlight looks like that, cause it doesn't look like that in person
